Baciochi/Bacchiochi Family?

May I tell you a little story about this surname please , working for a company for many years as I did I regularly spoke to a woman with the surname Bacciochi at a comapny that supplied us . I alway's pronounced it as I thought it should sound ie Bashoki , a woman of some senior years than me in the office I worked in told me I was saying it wrong that it was pronounced Bakoshi . Okay I said but when I spoke to the lady in question at the suppliers I still said it as I always had . A week or three later the woman in our office came over and said I am sorry I asked my son in law with the same surname and he said it is pronounced as it sounds Bashoki . Originally I had put 2 and 2 together by studying the name Veracchia remember the ice cream men . I must say though I've heard more ch in the Italian language than ck sounding words .
 
Hi, I have been working on my family ancestry and discovered my great grandmother was Italian. Her name was Frances Tognolini (1899), and her parents were Clemente Tognolini (1867) and Mary L Bacciochi (1878). Mary was born in Birmingham, her father was Dominici Bacciochi (1851).
If anyone knows of any relations or can make any connections I would love to hear about it! I never knew I had italian blood and my dream is to be able to now learn more about this branch of the family and maybe even find pictures.

Thanks everyone!
Mia

I have same conundrum with an Italian name. Rumour passed down a normally silent family was someone marrying an Italian. I think after exhausting searches found someone who could be the people involved. In 1950's a Josephine Fox married Michele S. Callecia in Newcastle Under Lyme. No further mentions anywhere and think they went off to Italy......the other rumour was ice cream linked to the family.
 
I also had this experience but with french! Whilst I only newly discovered the italian link on my fathers side, I was always told from a young age my mothers side were from France and had a chip shop there. Although none of my research confirmed this. Whilst the name sounds french, going back multiple generations all i see is everyone born in east London! So my trail ran cold so far on that front.
Whilst the italian link i did confirm by ordering ancestors birth certificates to verify it. So now I just want a better idea of who they were and why they moved to Birmingham and then down to London. I am curious to find the story behind them!
 
Re: The Baciochi/Bacchiochi Family?

Hi Sandra
I have also been researching this branch of the Bacciochi family on behalf of my cousins Annette and Sue Kilroy. I believe you are their cousin on aunt Olive's side of the family! Unfortunately I cannot add anything to the info you already have. I have them on the various censuses which I have printed off to send to Annette, but never got around to it, then when Nigel died last year it seemed inappropriate so have still got them in my file! I have come across 2 or 3 Bacciochis recently - one is a district nurse who comes out to mum, another is a friend of a friend on Facebook and another I have seen randomly somewhere else. Don't know if any of them are related to your branch. It's a very small world isn't it. What a great website this is though!
I think you were at uncle Phil's funeral last year weren't you? I was pushing my mum Sheila (uncle Phil's younger sister) in her wheelchair.
Take care

Hi, I think you're talking about my dad's Phil.
Hi there,
I'm trying to trace my family tree,
My great grandmother's name was Emily Baciochi/Bacchiochi and was born in 1868, and died in 1948.
My great grandfather's surname was Sharples, unfortunately I do not know his first name, I believe they were married in 1888.
Their children were:-

Ernie           born 1894?
Florence        born 1890, died 1978 (My Nan)
Elsie           born 1899?
Charlie          born 1897?
Harry           born 1889?

If you have any information, please reply to this post

Thank you

Sandra
